Advantages: Nice soft teat which some babies like

Disadvantages: Badly desined which makes them a nightmare to sterilise

These bottles are a nightmare to sterilise as the teat is very difficult to thread through the ring and no matter how you load the steriliser (or what brand of steriliser you use) it is very hard to sterilise more than 4 bottles at a time (5 if you really pack them in).
Also due to the odd shape of them they are too wide to fit in most bottle pockets of changing bags which means they have to go lose in the bag.
The new BPA free ones also have invisible volume markings on the side which means that when they are all steamed up fresh from the steriliser, you cant see how much to fill. I have had to mark the sided with an indelible pen which ruins the look of the bottles.
On the plus side my son seems to like them opposed to the Avent bottles (which I much prefer). Ultimately it is which ones your baby likes but if you can help it at all, dont use these unless it is your last resort.

Summary: Use other bottles if you can help it.
